Publication number: 20240114326Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to event-based wireless emergency alerts (“WEAs”). According to one aspect disclosed herein, a WEA-capable device can receive an event-based wireless emergency alert that includes an event code and alert content. The WEA-capable device can parse the event code from the event-based WEA. The WEA-capable device can determine, via execution of an event-based WEA function, a WEA format based upon the event code. The WEA-capable device can then output the alert content in the WEA format. In some embodiments, the event code identifies a weather-related emergency event (e.g., a hurricane or tornado warning). In other embodiments, the event code identifies a non-weather-related emergency event (e.g., a child abduction alert). The WEA format can be an event-specific spoken language, an event-specific symbol, an event-specific haptic feedback, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Charles Peter Musgrove, Brian Daly

Patent number: 9636115Abstract: A device for delivering an occlusive element includes an elongate sheath having a lumen therein. An elongate core member is disposed within the lumen and is formed from a proximal portion and distal portion connected via a joint. The distal portion of the elongate member includes a severable junction secured to the occlusive element. A marker coil is coaxially arranged around the distal portion of the elongate core member and is partially disposed inside the sheath lumen. A coil member is coaxially arranged around the distal portion of the elongate core member and coaxially arranged around at least a portion of the marker coil extending outside the lumen of the sheath. The coil member is secured at a distal end thereof to the distal portion of the elongate core member. The device resists axial compression while allowing for radial bending.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignees: Stryker Corporation, Stryker European Holdings I, LLCInventors: William S.

Patent number: 9339312Abstract: An intramedullary nail has a proximal part for engagement with a proximal bone fragment and a distal part for engagement with a distal bone fragment. A motion assembly interconnects the parts and allows limited axial relative motion of the proximal and distal parts. This limited axial motion provides micromotion and in some embodiments also dynamization. The nail may comprise a stem for fastening to one bone fragment and an insert within the stem for fastening to the other bone fragment, the insert being adapted to guide insertion of a bone screw through the stem and to prevent relative rotation of the distal and proximal bone fragments. The motion assembly may include spring bias and/or damping means between the parts, possibly including one or more Belleville washers.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: CORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: William Doherty, Patrick O'Connor, James Harty, Hannah Dailey, Charles Daly, Olive O'Driscoll

Publication number: 20140311497Abstract: A lung ventilation device has a stem to fit in a trachea, having at least two ventilation passageways communicating with distal passageways configured to fit in the bronchi at the carina. There is a positioning balloon to engage the walls at the carina when inflated. The positioning balloon has a proximal annular portion surrounding a distal end of the stem, and a plurality of annular distal portions, each surrounding a distal passageway end. The distal balloon portions are extensions of the proximal balloon portion. There may be a frangible link between the distal passageways, to break to separate the distal passageways in situ for bronchi entry as the positioning balloon is inflated. There may be stylets extending along the stem and arranged to provide stiffness to the distal passageways during device advancement in the trachea.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2012Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Charles Daly, Ciaran Brennen, Declan O'brien, Myles Murray, Olive O'driscoll

Patent number: 8263158Abstract: The invention provides a meat stretching device. The device includes a receptacle and a flexible sleeve. The flexible sleeve is mounted within the receptacle, the flexible sleeve having a cross-section that defines an aperture to receive one or more cuts of meat. The receptacle is connectable to an air pressure device that is capable of generating a positive pressure in the receptacle to cause the flexible sleeve to constrict around and stretch the one or more cuts of meat that are received in the aperture. In one form the flexible sleeve has a first end and a second end, and a cross-section that defines an aperture, the first end being adapted to receive one or more cuts of meat and the second end being adapted to allow the one or more cuts of meat to be removed from the flexible sleeve. In this form the flexible sleeve is mounted within the receptacle such that an airtight volume is formed between the flexible sleeve and the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignees: Meat & Wool New Zealand Limited, Meat & Livestock Australia LimitedInventors: Arthur Pitt, Clyde Charles Daly
